Well, he did base his suggestion and descriptions of her based on a portrait...Which seems uncharacteristically stupid of him.

Wasn’t Cromwell universally reviled when he was executed due to his constant scheming, double dealing, and authoritarianism (extreme even for that period!)? Not to mention his unending lust for power..

Only according to you, it’s your opinion that it’s flawed because it disagrees with your particular moral outlook, that doesn’t make it incorrect. It just makes you incapable of seeing that it’s perfectly reasonable for people to not think people deserve something for nothing. There’s no point in helping people if…

Well I mean, duh, but outlets like Splinter and HuffPo think Twitter is the end all, be all of discourse. The simple fact is tons of people aren’t on Twitter or bitching and moaning or marching at every daytime rally because they’re at work, or simply have better things to do with their time.

People die around the world every day, many in incredibly horrific circumstances. What have you done lately?

Morality is by definition not rational. When people say they do things for “moral reasons” they mean that there is no net benefit or cost to doing or not doing that thing, there is no tangible outcome, they simply do it to for the seratonin.

But he didn’t, and the fact that her story wasn’t corroborated by any of her friends, changed regularly, and didn’t even paint a clear picture of sexual assault or misconduct, is why most people understood it to be a load of trash. Between Blasey-Ford and the Russia investigation, most independents/undecided voters…

Splinter bloggers’ general operating style is, “No matter how crazy our bullshit is, our readers will believe it.”

He’s not prone to hysterics like most of you?

Fuck it, you must be absolutely destitute to run for office. Then we’ll dump you with 165k a year!

You can’t even make the argument that Walmart is underpaying its workers. Who is making the judgment of what “underpayment” is? Certainly not you. The government has a set minimum wage, and so long as they’re paid that then they are, by definition, not underpaid. Whether or not a worker feels that way is their…

It exists because Wal-Mart decided for whatever reason that engaging people as they enter the store provides some sort of benefit. There’s been at least one psychological study that says engaging people as they enter the store makes them feel both valued, and noticed - also lowering chances of theft, because it makes…

I mean, laughing at him implies he’s not even worthy of criticism, and since what he’s advocating for here is laughably stupid, I’m on board.

Okay, then don’t subsidize it. The company is under no obligation to pay you more for near-useless work. Remove the government assistance if you’re mad about subsidizing it. The company can simply lay the employee off..Or is your next argument going to be prohibiting them from doing that and forcing them to employ…

Then they’re a proxy, not a board member. Goober.

What’s he gonna do, propose a bill demanding the government take control of Wal-Mart? Bernie hasn’t written a bill in..Well, ever.

Hey genius, you do know that if an hourly worker sat on the board they’d no longer be an hourly worker? I understand you have no idea how a company runs, or how a board of directors operates, but it comes with a fucking salary.

Da comrade, Da! We should restrict how much people are allowed to earn, for we are the wise and infallible and know exactly how much that should be!..Except for us, of course. Being wise and infallible, we need that extra to preserve our..ability to be wise and infallible.”

It’s really not that absurd, when the task you’re doing full time could be done by a computer..Or have you never seen a self-checkout kiosk at a grocery store? “I SHOULDN’T NEED GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE WHEN I WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK AS A GREETER AT WAL-MART!” is the dumbest fucking claim I’ve heard in the past ten years.

Sanders: “Add hourly workers to your board of directors!”
